Digital India for Happiness and Well being

Happiness:

Happiness is something that we all strive for, yet

many of us find it challenging to grasp and even

harder to maintain. In the last half of the

twentieth century, four key themes emerged

from the collective concerns and aspirations of

the world‟s people: peace, freedom,

development, and environment. We all have

different explanations and definitions of what

happiness is and what it means to each of us.

No matter what challenges, crossroads, and

lifestyle changes you come across in your life, at

the end of the day, your happiness is what truly

matters most. We‟re constantly bombarded with

messages about what makes for a good life.

Advertisers tell us it comes from owning and

consuming their products. The media associate

it with wealth, beauty or fame. And politicians

claim that nothing matters more than growing

the economy. But do any of these things really

bring lasting happiness? For thousands of years,

people have looked to philosophy, religion and

proven wisdom for answers to such questions.

LIFE is LIving In Fulfillment and Enjoyment -

fulfillment in our professional careers and

enjoyment in our personal lives. There is nothing

more satisfying than overcoming a challenge

that was previously deemed insurmountable.

One feels proud realizing that you have grown

much more than your expectations. This balance

is the core of a quality life and carries with it

great benefits of clear thinking, effective

decision-making, creativity and a sense of

belonging and relatedness. These essential

qualities will enable any individual whether a

Teacher, Businessman, Doctor, Engineer,

Company Executive, Student or Housewife to

excel in their lives. Progress can be considered

as a broad notion of a community‟s well-being

. However, very soon in the next decade

i.e. in 1980s, the contemporary

Electronics started comprehending the

aftermath of the Moor‟s law which was

coined as „More than Moore‟ effect.

Around 1987, the conception of

semiconductor pendulum was put forth

by yet another visionary Tsugio Makimoto

[2] interms of six cycles of silicon history.

With the alternate standardization and

customization swinging per decade, the

Makimoto waves exemplified the journey

from TTL, LSI-MSI, Microprocessors-

Microcontrollers, ASICs to

Reconfigurable Computing.

I N S I D E T H I S I S S U E :

Digital Technology: Pervasive use of

digital technology devices such as

personal computers, laptops, tablets and

smart phones to connect, communicate,

and collaborate has become widely

accepted. The effects of electronics on

the contemporary society are very

significant. In the 21st century we are

enjoying well developed electronics. In

some form or the other every day we

deal with the electronic devices several

times. Innovation is the creative

development of a specific product,

service, idea, environment, or process

with the fundamental goal of pleasing

customers and extracting value from its

commercialization. The increased

complexity, packaging density, and

functionality of modern cell phones is

metaphorically representative of the

change in the composition, skill mix, and

tightly collaborative focus of the product

development teams who innovate to

create them. This evolution has resulted

in innovations in new products,

materials, computer-aided design tools,

and manufacturing processes.

Great teachers change lives forever by recognizing our potential, inspiring us to do our best and follow our dreams.

SPEED salutes such Great Teachers and WISHES entire teacher community “HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY!”

that changes over time. While life

satisfaction focuses on the

subjective assessment of different

elements that affect individual lives,

well-being has been used to refer to

objective living conditions.

Digital India Program:

Recently, the government of India has promoted Digital India program. It is an umbrella program that covers multiple Government Ministries and Departments. It weaves together a large number of ideas and thoughts into a single, comprehensive vision so that each of them can be implemented as part of a larger goal. The Digital India vision provides intensified impetus for further momentum and progress for e-Governance and would promote inclusive growth that covers electronic services, products, devices, manufacturing and job opportunities. Nine pillars of Digital India have been envisioned, which include

1. Broadband Highways

2. Universal Access to Mobile

Connectivity

3. Public Internet Access Program

4. e-Governance: Reforming

Government through Technology

5. e-Kranti - Electronic Delivery of

Services

6. Information for All

7. Electronics Manufacturing

8. IT for Jobs

9. Early Harvest Programs

The Digital India is a really massive,

ambitious multifaceted program. It involves

building of Digital infrastructure and its

effective use is various societal

applications leading to development and

broader sense of happiness among the

citizens of India. Digital infrastructure will

focus on providing high speed secure

Internet. Broadband for all Rural, Urban

and National Information Infrastructure

would integrate the networks like State

Wide Area Network (SAWN), National

Knowledge Network (NKN) and National

Optical Fiber Network (NOFN along) with

cloud enabled National and State Data

Centers. Governance and services on

demand will stress on integrating services

across departments and jurisdictions and

making services available in real time for

both online and mobile platform. The

Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity

will focus on network penetration and fill

the gaps in connectivity in the country.

Digital empowerment of citizens will pay

emphasis on universal digital literacy and

availability of digital resources/services in

Indian languages. Online applications,

tracking of their status and interface

between departments should be provided.

Use of online repositories e.g. school

certificates, voter ID cards, etc. should be

mandated so that citizens are not required

to submit these documents in physical

form. Integration of services and

platforms, e.g. UIDAI, Payment Gateway,

Mobile Platform, and Electronic Data

Interchange (EDI) etc. should be

mandated to facilitate integrated and

interoperable service delivery to citizens

and businesses.

There are number of Mission Mode

Projects under different stages of e-

governance project lifecycle. These

include

Technology for Education – e-

Education

All Schools will be connected with

broadband. Free Wi-Fi will be provided in

all secondary and higher secondary

schools (coverage would be around

250,000 schools). A program on digital

literacy would be taken up at the national

level. MOOCs –Massive Online Open

Courses shall be developed and

leveraged for e-Education.

Information Exchanges are already

showing benefits for both the patient and

for hospitals. Patients who had digitally

shared medical information and arrived at

emergency rooms were less likely to have

medical scans repeated. Physicians

could just use the record already in the

system.

Technology for Health – e-Healthcare

E-Healthcare would cover online medical

consultation, online medical records,

online medicine supply, pan-India

exchange for patient information. Health

The study by University of Michigan

researchers was published in the journal

Medical Care. The study focused only on

scans and did not look for other medical

tests routinely performed in ERs

.When information was shared, patients

were: 67% less likely to have a repeated

chest X-ray, 59% less likely to have a

redundant CT Scan, 44% less likely to

have a duplicate ultrasound.

Technology for Farmers

This would facilitate farmers to get real

time price information, online ordering of

inputs and online cash, loan and relief

payment with mobile banking.

Technology for Security

Mobile based emergency services and

disaster related services would be

provided to citizen on real time basis so

as to take precautionary measures well in

time and minimize loss of lives and

properties.

s on real time basis so

Technology for Financial Inclusion

Financial Inclusion shall be strengthened using

Mobile Banking, Micro-ATM program and CSCs/

Post Offices.

Technology for Justice

Interoperable Criminal Justice System shall be

strengthened by leveraging e-Courts, e-Police, e-

Jails and e-Prosecution.

Technology for Planning

National GIS Mission Mode Project would be

implemented to facilitate GIS based decision

making for project planning, conceptualization,

design and development.

Technology for Cyber Security

Children and youth, spend a lot of their time connected with their friends through internet and use digital technology as a primary mode of communication. The Digital Wellness Online Challenge is an initiative that aspires to make children and youth aware of how they can maintain digital wellness by taking informed decisions and become safe, respectful and responsible users of digital technology. Designed as a fun engaging quiz activity the Digital Wellness challenge uses knowledge-based questions to provide information and scenario-based questions to encourage participants to think, decide, and choose an action that ensures their online safety and security.

The success of Digital India program and its

effectiveness for Happiness and Well being of

the entire Indian community would be very

much dependent on the attitude and

contributions of Scientists, Technocrats and

Professionals from various sectors, Teachers,

students, Government officials, and politicians

and above all the people at large. Let us be

wishful and forward looking. That is the way to

happiness.

Department of Electronic Science, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune.

Digital meets physical

The borders of the digital

and physical world have

been blurring. Mobile and

internet technology is

transforming the lives of

people. Today‟s clever

apps use Smartphone

technology to sense our

locations and those of our

friends. The technology will

go further with next-

generation wearable

devices such as Google

Glass, which deploys

cameras and wireless

connections to project

information, on demand,

through eyeglasses. Other

wearable technologies are

also emerging like

“intelligent textiles”

,wristwatch computers etc.

Technologies used in

game consoles allow us to

use physical movements

and gestures to interact

with digital devices. Boeing

uses virtual-reality glasses

so that factory workers

assembling its 747 aircraft

need to consult manuals

less frequently. Annotated

pop-ups point to drilling

locations and display

proper wire connections.

The magic mirror

s(displays) in store

dressing rooms allow

customers to “try on”

clothes virtually to help

them make their selection.

There is potential for

interactive digital plat-forms

to play roles in product

design in coming years.

Much had been written and said about our beloved late president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. I would like to

emphasis on his contribution for making our country a developed nation. He had a clear vision about India 2020; also his

thoughts about the role of Electronics and Computer Science towards this mission were very important. I had a once in a

life time opportunity to hear his visionary when he visited Nehru Memorial, near Wadia College, Pune. He was very

positive about his vision for a shining India and that time I feel that he is pushing all of us into a blissful daydream.

Consequently we have read about that in the newspapers continuously and will continue to read.

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam had got the idea of developed India from a girl who said to him that she wants to live in

“Developed India”. He started thinking in that direction and his ideas were put forward in a book entitled „INDIA 2020-A

Vision For A New Millennium’. In the book he had mentioned the key role of Electronics in this aspect. India has a rich

inheritance as far as natural resources are concerned. With these resources India is making progress in Science and

Technology. Further boost is required. In spite of having so many challenges, India had a successful missile program

under the leadership of Dr. Kalam. Hence aptly called „missileman‟. Under his guidance TIFAC (Technology Information

Forecasting Assessment Council) was born in 1988. There are Indians who survive on a day to day basis with no skills or

education. These are unfortunate people but have the ability to absorb new technologies. Dr Kalam once said that

technology should be developed in such a way that even illiterate people can use it. Today even illiterate people can use

mobile phones. He proved to be correct. Another example: Literate people, educated ones from India may not be able to

talk fluently in English, but can understand the technical details mentioned in manuals. Using them these people have

become masters in computer operations. So Indian population, rich or poor, literate or illiterate, is the richest resource

base in the form of human resource and India‟s strength lies in this. So he calls India a young country with largest youth

population with a dream called “developed India”. Thanks to this vision given by Dr. Kalam.

So a question comes: can India be a “developed India” by 2020 for ever ? Answer according to him was a big

„yes‟ if the vision document given to us by APJ Abdul Kalam is followed. In this document he has given technology vision

by which self reliance and strategic industrial implementation will give a leadership that will transfer „developing India in to

a “developed India”. We have to prepare our self for this concept of “developed India”. This vision document is nothing

less than mission statement.

As far as our field of Electronics is concerned, technological development is going to play a very important role.

The areas in which we need to concentrate are: Hi-tech circuits, materials, advanced manufacturing facility, InfoTech,

software development for advanced electronic products, sensors, robotics and instrumentation.

As far as food safety is concerned there are many issues related with it. Can we cater to fulfill the need of

food for growing population; is a question. Once upon a time we were heavily dependent on food imports from foreign

countries. Today we are not only self sufficient, but are able to export the excess production of agricultural goods. We

have to continue this trend. APJ Abdul Kalam sir has given a very good foresight for us for future needs of food

products and our capabilities to withstand the increasing demand. According to him we Indians can face the challenge

by utilizing biotechnological development. In this, the most important technology is to develop ‘transgenic’ plants.

These plants are manmade and are designed to meet the desired objective by transfer of genes to a target plant. As I

understand, his contribution in this field has equal importance as his contribution to the missile program. We have

already developed seedless grapes. Extending this technology it is possible to develop a grape with mango juice

inside or even a plant with brinjal and tomatoes above the ground and potato and groundnuts below the ground. To

achieve this specific and urgent measures are required to develop post-harvest technologies with agro-food

processing. With Kalam sir‟s vision we can ensure food safety in “Developed India” by 2020. Salute to him for his

vision. Electronics related to this is in handling equipments, automatic e-weighing machines, automation in agricultural

sector etc. In this regard he says, “Doing this is not chasing a moon, it is making the moon chase us”.

As far as the medical field is concerned, there are many Indian plants (Adulsa, Turmeric etc.) that have

medicinal values commonly called as “folk” medicines. But we do not use them regularly or we have forgotten how to

use them over a period of time since this knowledge has not been transferred from one generation to another. These

are extremely low cost; easily and abundantly across the length and breadth of India.. According to him this will reduce

mortality of poor people and also increase their life span so according to him these plants need to be studied in much

more details. As I read from the vision document by Kalam sir, these plants and their medicinal history is clearly spelt

in the Vedas. He must have studied or at least read the Vedas because he has mentioned Charak and Susruta

Samhita. This also shows Kalam sir‟s wide spectrum of interest.

Kalam sir had considered repair and maintenance to be of great value for ”Developed India”. Nowadays „use

and throw‟ concept exists. Repair cost is high. So people go for new products than repairing and maintaining them. But

if India develops manpower for this, then it will reduce the e-waste. There will be a facility of upward compatibility for

the e-products. i.e. the hardware used in the earlier product can be used in new product.

What a vision ? I pay rich tributes to such a great visionary.
